Oxygen therapy in acutely ill patients By: Adel Hamada Assistant Lecturer of Chest Diseases Chest Department Faculty of Medicine Zagazig University

By the end of this lecture you will be able to: Prescribe oxygen therapy. Understand the different devices used to deliver oxygen.

A Survey was done in UK about oxygen therapy in which 50 qualified medical and nursing staff working in acute areas were asked about oxygen masks and the concentration of oxygen delivered by each and also asked which mask was most appropriate for a range of clinical situations. (Cooper, 2002). Misunderstanding of oxygen therapy The results were: 1- many staff could not name the different types of oxygen mask, and the difference between oxygen flow and concentration was poorly understood. 2- one third chose a 28% Venturi mask for an unwell asthmatic.

Misunderstanding of oxygen therapy is widespread and the result is that many patients are treated suboptimally. Oxygen is a drug with a correct concentration and side effects. So

Hypoxaemia and hypoxia Hypoxaemia: is defined as the reduction below normal levels of oxygen in arterial blood. Normal Pao 2= 80 to 100 mmhg Hypoxia: is the reduction below normal levels of oxygen in the tissues and leads to organ damage. Main causes of hypoxaemia: Hypoventilation Ventilation – perfusion (V/Q) mismatch Intrapulmonary shunt.

Symptoms and signs of hypoxemia include: Cyanosis. Restlessness. Palpitations. Sweating. Hypertension then hypotension. Confusion. Headache. Reduced conscious level.

OXYGEN THERAPY It is the supplementation of oxygen concentration greater than 21%

The goal of oxygen therapy correct alveolar and tissue hypoxia, aiming for a PaO2 of at least 60 mmHg or oxygen saturations of at least 93%.

Indications for oxygen therapy n adult acute care Hypoxemia (PaO2 less than 8.0 kPa/60 mmHg, or saturations less than 93%). An acute situation where hypoxaemia is suspected Severe trauma Acute myocardial infarction During surgery. American Association for Respiratory Care,(2002) However, However, oxygen therapy is also indicated in the peri-operative period, for respiratory distress, shock, severe sepsis, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, severe anemia and when drugs are used which reduce ventilation (e.g. opioids).

Oxygen masks Low flow masks High flow masks deliver a proportion of or the entire ventilatory requirement deliver the entire ventilatory requirement Nasal cannulae Hudson (or MC) masks reservoir bag masks Venturi masks

Nasal cannulae

Nasal cannulae are commonly used because they are convenient and comfortable. Theoretical oxygen concentrations for nasal cannulae.

The oxygen flow rate does not usually exceed 4 l/min. because this tends to be poorly tolerated by patients. Deliver a variable concentration of oxygen. HOW? In other words, a person with a higher inspiratory flow rate inhales proportionately less oxygen, and a person with a lower inspiratory flow rate inhales proportionately more oxygen. If you take a deep breath in, you will inhale approximately 1 l of air in a second. This is equivalent to an inspiratory flow rate of 60 l/min. The inspiratory flow rate varies throughout the respiratory cycle, hence there is also a peak inspiratory flow rate. Normal peak inspiratory flow rate is 40 – 60 l/min. But imagine for a moment that the inspiratory flow rate is constant. If a person has an inspiratory flow rate of 30 l/min and is given 2 l/min oxygen via nasal cannulae, he will inhale 2 l/min of pure oxygen and 28 l/min of air. If that same person changes his pattern of breathing so that the inspiratory flow rate rises to 60 l/min, the person will now inhale 2 l/min of pure oxygen and 58 l/min of air. In other words, a person with a higher inspiratory flow rate inhales proportionately less oxygen, and a person with a lower inspiratory flow rate inhales proportionately more oxygen.

Because nasal cannulae in fact deliver a variable concentration of oxygen, there are several case reports on the ‘ dangers of low flow oxygen ’ during exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) where low inspiratory flow rates can occur (and therefore higher oxygen concentrations ). SO

Hudson or MC masks

Hudson or MC (named after Mary Catterall but also referred to as ‘ medium concentration ’ ) masks are also sometimes called ‘ simple face masks ’. They are said to deliver around 50% oxygen when set to 10 – 15 l/min. The mask provides an additional 100 – 200 ml oxygen reservoir and that is why a higher concentration of oxygen is delivered compared with nasal cannulae Importantly significant rebreathing of CO2 can occur if the oxygen flow rate is set to less than 5 l/min because exhaled air may not be adequately flushed from the mask. Nasal cannulae should be used if less than 5 l/min of low flow oxygen is required.

Reservoir bag masks Partial rebreathe masks. non-rebreathe masks. the reservoir should be filled with oxygen before the mask is placed on the patient and the bag should not deflate by more than two-thirds with each breath in order to be effective. Set flow 10 to 15 L per min

Partial rebreathe masks.(70-80%Fio2) Partial rebreathe masks conserve oxygen supplies ( useful if traveling with a cylinder). The first one-third of the patient ’ s exhaled gas fills the reservoir bag, but as this is primarily from the anatomical dead space, it contains little CO2. The patient then inspires a mixture of exhaled gas and fresh gas (mainly oxygen)

Non-rebreathe masks. (85-95%Fio2) exhaled air exits the side of the mask through one-way valves and is prevented from entering the reservoir bag by another one-way valve. The patient therefore only inspires fresh gas (mainly oxygen). If the oxygen flow rate and oxygen reservoir are insufficient to meet the inspiratory demands of a patient with a particularly high inspiratory flow rate, the bag may collapse and the patient’s oxygenation could be compromised. To prevent this, reservoir bag masks must be used with a minimum of 10 l/min of oxygen and one of the exhalation valves is removed exhaled air exits the side of the mask through one-way valves and is prevented from entering the reservoir bag by another one-way valve. The patient therefore only inspires fresh gas (mainly oxygen). If the oxygen flow rate and oxygen reservoir are insufficient to meet the inspiratory demands of a patient with a particularly high inspiratory flow rate, the bag may collapse and the patient’s oxygenation could be compromised. To prevent this, reservoir bag masks must be used with a minimum of 10 l/min of oxygen and one of the exhalation valves is removed.

Venturi masks 1-high flow masks. 2-The Venturi valve utilizes the Bernoulli principle and has the effect of increasing the gas flow to above the patient ’ s peak inspiratory flow rate (which is why these masks make more noise)and changing inspiratory pattern does not affect the delivered oxygen concentration.(controlled oxygen therapy)

and a There are two types of Venturi systems: colour-coded valve masks and a variable model. With colour- coded valve masks (labeled 24%, 28%, 35%, 40% and 60%), each is designed to deliver a fixed percentage of oxygen when set to the appropriate flow rate

Flow to venturi Flow to patient Change in flow=change in flow to patient Change in oxygen hole and side holes =change in oxygen concentration variable model

Venturi mask flow rates

Humidified oxygen dry oxygen may lead to the following: 1.ciliary dysfunction. 2.impaired mucous transport. 3.retention of secretions. 4.Atelectasis. 5.and even bacterial infiltration of the pulmonary mucosa and pneumonia. **Specially if an artificial airway bypasses the nasopharynx. SO Humidified oxygen is given to avoid this, and is particularly important when prolonged high-concentration oxygen is administered and in pneumonia or post-operative respiratory failure where the expectoration of secretions is important.

In summary flow is not the same as concentration! Low flow masks can deliver high concentrations of oxygen and high flow masks can deliver low concentrations of oxygen. When giving instructions or prescribing oxygen therapy, two parts are required: the type of mask and the flow rate.

Cardio-respiratory arrest or peri-arrest situation – 15 l/min reservoir bag mask Other situations *Does the patient have COPD or other cause of chronic respiratory failure? ?!?! yes no Use Venturi masks only Start at 28% and do arterial blood gases Aim for PaO2 around 8 kPa and normal pH NIV is indicated in acute respiratory acidosis after full medical therapy Use MC or RB mask to get saturations 93% Simple guide to oxygen therapy

Can oxygen therapy be harmful? *Hyperoxaemia can sometimes have adverse effects. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of oxygen (above 50%) can lead to atelectasis and acute lung injury, usually in an ICU setting. *There is also a group of patients with chronic respiratory failure who may develop hypercapnia when given high concentrations of oxygen. But!!! Hypoxaemia kills There have been cases of negligence in which doctors have withheld oxygen therapy from acutely ill patients due to an unfounded fear of exacerbating hypercapnia.
